Pregnancy Chiropractic
Pregnancy Chiropractic in Taree
When you think about it, nine months is a very short amount of time to grow a whole new human being. During pregnancy, your body goes through a tremendous amount of change, adapting to things like weight gain, a shifting centre of gravity, hormonal changes and more.
All of these changes put demands on your musculoskeletal system and biomechanics and can often result in pain, discomfort, mobility issues and more. Fortunately, chiropractic care is a natural method of care that can often restore optimal alignment to the joints of your spine and pelvis, alleviating discomfort and helping promote healthier movement patterns.
At Midcoast Chiropractic and Wellness, our experienced chiropractor Dr Regan Wilson offers gentle chiropractic care customised to the special needs of our expecting mums.
Studies have shown that pregnant women who receive regular chiropractic care experience shorter labour & delivery times, with reduced incidence of medical interventions. A faster, easier birth may also benefit your baby as it places less stress on the spine & skull.
Keeping You Comfortable With Gentle Methods
Our patient-centred care is designed with your comfort in mind. Dr Wilson will design a care plan to help with your specific situation, using gentle methods such as:
- Activator Methods®
- Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT)
- Soft tissue work
- Dry needling
The hormone relaxin is released during pregnancy to help loosen the ligaments to allow for delivery. Since your ligaments are looser, adjustments are easier to achieve, even using the gentlest of techniques. Our attention to your muscles and soft tissues can help ease muscle tension and promote greater ease of movement.
During your first and second trimester, we’ll typically see you fortnightly. As you get closer to your delivery date, we’ll increase your appointments to weekly intervals to keep your pelvis properly aligned. We also offer pregnancy pillows to ensure you are comfortable during your adjustments.
